The properties of copper countertops are similar to stainless steel.I tend to like copper better, because it has a warmer look.

The biggest difference between stainless steel and copper counters is in how they age.Copper darkens and scratches, and that's considered to be a good thing.It's part of the 'character' of copper.While the goal with stainless steel is to have it look exactly the same from one year to the next.
